I needed a new challenge
there is no time limitations - only one rule
do some work EVERY day - five minutes or an hour - a little or a lot
stitching on a heavy, unbleached cotton - a long, narrow piece
doddle-ing with needle and thread - random daily thoughts
family birthdays got me off to a quick start
the thread that runs through life will hopefully hold it together
the very old embroidered silk doily fell out of a scrap bag, begging to be used
so I added a scrap of indigo dyed shibori and a few blue daisies
yesterday was a welcome day out with my friend Mary
first stop was Fired Up - my favorite pottery show, it was wonderful to be back after 2 years
just seeing and talking to talented, creative people is inspiring
I regret it now but I didn't buy anything
driving back to the city we took the scenic route, drove through my teenage neighbourhood and past my high schools
a trip down memory lane
of course a trip to the pub was necessary - Spinnakers - where we shared a marvelous charcuterie board
forgot to take a picture - definitely will have to go back!
everything is made "in house" and the huge, fat oysters are local
I had a new beer - on the menu it has been renamed "hull and boats"
but was originally named "hull and oats"
too close to home for a certain rock duo and the brew house has been forced to change the name
sad when a group who claims to be the"most successful duo in musical history" feels threatened by a small brew pub in Victoria
click on the picture and read the pub's description - great marketing!
and I enjoyed it enough to bring some home - for the hot summer days that are hopefully soon to come
although it was a grey day Victoria harbour is always spectacular
the garden is blooming, the irises are abundant
mother nature showing off
and the arugula has self seeded everywhere
